Ok, my Walbro 255 is in. Here is what is happening. Also this isthe first time I've ever gone WOT in this car since the turbo swap.

-Throttle responce is shitty.
-Acceleration is better than N/A but not good.
-Will NOT rev past 5000rpm under load.
-Boost gauge reads that I am holding a max of 5psi with small spikes to 7.
-Spool up is very slow.

Am I just running way to rich now?

Also, I just thought of this, my balance shaft belt snapped. With the front balance shaft not turning and the rear one still functional, could this be causing the dreaded phantom knock?

Before all this throttle responce was great and the car would rev past 5000rpm.
 
Ok, I logged again and did a 3 2nd gear pulls only hitting 7 knock on the first. Then zero. Then 30. :( I could hit redline each time.

On the way back home I did a 3rd pull and hit 17 knock.

Also I did another 2nd gear run but didn't log. It didn't want to go past 5000rpm, so I let off a bit then hit wot again and she pulled like a bi*** to redline.

What could this be?

Also, my injectors are at 81% duty cycle at idle now. With the stock pump they were at 100%
